Even the Romans could see through the scheme of the Sadducees and Pharisees both before the crucifixion, and after the crucifixion when they wanted guards posted to keep Jesus' followers from stealing the body.
I loved the part in the movie "Jesus of Nazareth" when the religious leaders asked for the tomb guard, and the solider looked right in their faces and said "What kind of people are you?"
I'm not familiar with these characters, but I did find the scene:
"What kind of person are you?" is what he asked.
What's the story here with Sadducees and Pharisees? I'm not a Christian so this level of minutiae is well beyond me.
It seems logical to keep a religious cult from stealing a body and claiming that their leader had risen from the dead, at least from a tactical perspective of an establishment force fighting an anti-establishment group who just had a martyr created. It sounds like the individual in black is, frankly, using the pagan Romans as independent observers. The followers of Jesus could rationalize as the individual in black describes.
What was these individual's scheme?
